okay, update: i tried swapping out the 20A fuse for a 10A, still no dice. i disassembled the T/S switch and cleaned the carbon and it's still not working.... any other ideas?

ok... i took my car to an auto electrical shop and they must not have known what they were doing. the charged me $128 for 2 hours of diagnosis and told me it was my combo switch, so i replaced that. still nothing. so i called up z-whizz (kudos!!) and they did electrical, took it there and had them run a diagnostic for $90 and they said that a plug was plugged into the wrong receptor! fixed! how it got plugged in there i guess i will never know.... so moral of the story is: go to z-whizz first.

Those guys at Z-Whizz took care of me when I was having problems. When I had first put the round tops on my 73 they let me watch and learn as they fine tuned the carbs. I learned more in 20 minutes than I would have in a long time. Good guys!

^^z-whizz ain't no joke. it's worth the extra few bucks to me
